I don't need a special occasion to make a treat but making a treat sure makes it feel like a special occasion. And that's exactly what I did today. I made cupcakes. And they were delicious, even if I have to say so myself.
With a sweet tooth like mine this package was like opening a Christmas present.
Let's take a peek and see what's inside. All pretty and pink. The package included a non-stick muffin/cupcake tin, a package of Wilton cupcake papers, the cutest cupcake oven glove, some too cute note cards, and of course a box of Fun da-Middles.These were so easy to make. I took a few pictures while preparing them but the computer seemed to eat those when down loading. Bad computer.
Besides the great taste, and yes they were really yummy, these are perfect to add to a kids (or an adult, if you're like me) lunch box or as a snack on the run. There's no need to frost these, the sweet cream filling is in the middle. No mess!! I did frost half of mine but honestly these were plenty sweet enough without it.
Fun da-Middles combines the cake mix and filling pouch in one box. They're available in three delicious flavors, Vanilla Cake with Creamy Chocolate Filling, Chocolate Cake with Creamy Vanilla Filling and Vanilla Cake with Creamy Vanilla Filling.

Tracy thx so much for all those comments Im now your newest follower
ReplyDelete2nd entry: I always love to bake and my favorite dessert recently is my sinful dessert, the recipe is posted under my blog.
ReplyDeleteAs for the Candelabera you just gave me a great idea, I have a very ugly metal one it will be great for cupcakes wouhoooooooo ( and I thought I made a mistake after I bought it now I have a great idea thx to you)
If I make any desserts, it will be 'cookie cups', which are like little mini choc chip cookies in the shape of little cups, filled with cream cheese and powdered sugar filling. They are so good!
